***5 ‘God Will Not Kill A Kitten If You Say The Word Bang’ Stars***
Cynthia. This woman. Here’s the thing, I actually didn’t have an issue with her when she was in Stepford wife mode. I didn’t, I can’t really explain it, but I got why she was the way she was. But I adored her once she broke out of those chains. Which took quite a bit of effort, but thanks to her crew of ‘princesses’ a kind of sort of prince and her daughter, she may have been dragged and kicking through it all, but she did it. And when she did she was funny, chill, and had that ‘thing’ that made you notice her. I loved watching her become the woman she was always meant to be, it was an awkward, outrageous and heart warming process and I loved how, in the end, she owned every inch of herself.
The slow burn romance between Cynthia and her prince was a bumpy one, but so worth it in the end in every way possible. The chemistry between them was hot and was all kinds of smexyness! But it was how they connected beyond the physical that showed that if they really wanted to, then they could have a fairytale ending of their own.
I have to say that Ms. Sivec did an amazing job with this book. It is pure Tara Sivec RomCom at it’s best. It was laugh out loud funny, smexy as sin and filled with heart. loved how she took the essence of the Cinderella fairytale, stayed true to it and still made it her own. Now for Ariel and Isabelle, I adored these two, they are so different and I loved their...quirks and cannot wait to see what the author has in store for them because I know it’s going to be one hell of a ride!

Once upon a time Cynthia was the perfect housewife. Between being the President of the PTA and keeping her home spotless without a hair (or her pearls) out of place, her life was a dream come true. Her husband was once her knight in shining armor, but now he’s run off with all their money…and the babysitter.
Dressed as a princess at the annual Halloween block party on Fairytale Lane, she meets two other “princesses” also facing money troubles: antique store owner Ariel and librarian Isabelle. When the women are invited to wear their costumes to a party where they’re mistaken for strippers, Cindy, Ariel, and Belle realize that a career change could be the best way to make their money problems go bippity-boppity-boo.
But can structured Cindy approach a stripper pole without sanitizing wipes? And could the blue-eyed anti-prince that has been crossing her path become Cindy’s happily ever after? At the Stroke of Midnight is a hilarious, empowering story where princesses can save themselves while slaying in stilettos.
